Beauty guide

What does steam do for your skin?

Thebenetsofsteamskincare.(Fig.14)

Facial steaming is a basic element of women’s beauty regime. It is a

prerequisite for proper skincare. Steaming your face prepares your skin

for other treatments such as moisturising, deep cleansing or nourishing.

Beauty salons use steam as a preparation for facial treatments. Steaming

opens the pores and increases blood circulation, which is a perfect

preparation of the skin for any beauty treatment. Use of the Visasauna

before your cleansing and moisturising treatment optimises the

effectiveness of cosmetic products.

What is aromatherapy?

,

ENGLISH 9

Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of aromatic essential oils extracted

from plants. These essential oils can be extracted from different parts of

plants such as leaves, owers and roots. Aromatherapy can be used for a

wide range of physical, spiritual and emotional effects. The oils can be

applied in different ways, for instance by massaging, in a bath or through

inhalation. The Visasauna has been developed so that the steam diffuses

the aroma.

What makes the Visasauna the best ally for your skincare?

Philips beauty carefully develops body and beauty products that help to

make your beauty routine more effective and more enjoyable. The new

Visasauna improves cleansing and moisturising treatments for a radiant

and beautiful skin.

Aromadiffuser(Fig.15)

The unique aroma diffuser provides a personalised and convenient

aromatherapy treatment. It provides real aromatherapy, since the aroma is

optimally diffused directly by the steam. You can use the pre-made aroma

sachets or your own herbs and oils together with a cotton pad. Just put a

few drops of aromatic oil on the pad and put the pad in the aroma

diffuser.

TheVisasaunacomeswiththreedifferenttypesofpre-madeherb

andoilsachets:(Fig.16)

Calming Camomile herb sachets to calm and destress the spirit.

Ingredients: dried camomile owers.

Relaxing Rose essential oil sachets to calm and relax the spirit.

Ingredients: rose oil mixture (Aqua, Polysorbat 20, Fragrance, PEG-40

Castor Oil, Rose Wood (Aniba Rosaeodora) Oil, Rose (Rosa

Damascena) Oil.

Refreshing Citrus essential oil sachets to refresh and rejuvenate the

spirit. Ingredients: citrus oil mixture (Aqua, Orange (Citrus Aurantium

Dulcis) Oil, Polysorbat 20, PEG-40 Castor Oil, Grapefruit (Citrus

during the steaming session. This mask also has a convenient forehead rest

that allows you to relax while steaming.

Pampering yourself with aromatherapy

Here are some beauty treatments you can perform with the Visasauna.

Steam treatment for oily skin

Steam for approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

If you use the aroma diffuser, we advise you to use a Refreshing

Citrus oil sachet.

Wash your face with water and a mild cleanser.

Then apply a scrub cream or a peeling mask.

Finish the treatment with a skin toner or lotion.

Steam treatment for dry skin

Steam for approximately 8 to 12 minutes.

If you use the aroma diffuser, we advise you to use a Relaxing Rose oil

sachet.

Rinse your face with water.

Then apply a moisturising or nourishing mask, serum or uid.

Tip: Instead of pre-treating your face with steam, you can also steam your

face while the moisturising mask is on your skin.

Steam treatment for sensitive skin

Steam for max. 10 minutes.

If you use the aroma diffuser, we advise you to use a Calming

Camomile herb sachet.

Rinse your face with water.

Then apply a special moisturising or nourishing cream for sensitive

skin.

Steam treatment for blackhead-prone skin

Steam for approximately 5 to 8 minutes.

Wipe sweat and excess oil off your face with a cotton pad.

Then carefully squeeze the blackheads between your ngers or use a

special blackhead remover.

-

ENGLISH 11

Tip: Hold 2 cotton pads between your ngers to squeeze the blackheads

gently.

Then clean the skin with a mild cleanser.

Finish the treatment with a skin toner or lotion.
